A Conversation with Dr. Maldonado Aranda (IN SPANISH)
In this epiosde, I speak with researcher and professor Dr. Salvador Maldonado Aranda. For years, he has studied violence in Mexico, in particular in southwestern Mexico, where states such as Michoacán and Guerrero have seen sharp spikes in both narcotic production and trafficking since the 1980s. In this episode, we discuss the origins of these ongoing issues, the inaccurate ways they are often portrayed in the media, and what new challenges may arise in the years to come.
NOTE: This episode is in Spanish. If you'd like to hear a little about what we discussed, listen to the next episode on this feed, which features my father and I having a conversation in English about this interview.
